Pumpkin Muffins

This is the best recipe! My kids absolutely love the mini's and its one of their favorite treats. It is a really easy recipe and takes hardly any time at all. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!


Pumpkin Muffins

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water, milk or juice
2 eggs
1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin (make sure you don't get the pumpkin pie filling)
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt, cinnamon and nutmeg (I usually use only about 1/8tsp nutmeg)
optional: nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.

Topping: 2 tbs flour, 2 tbs brown sugar and 2 tbs butter, cut in

*combine sugar, oil, water, eggs and pumpkin. Blend on low 1 minute
*add flour, baking soda, salt, cinn., nutmeg, nuts, etc. mix on low until moistened
*beat on medium speed for one minute
*pour into muffin cups and sprinkle with topping mixture
*bake at 350 20-25 minutes (usually around 20min, 10 min for 24 minis)
